Sorry, I didn't want to just give you grief about punctualization.
If taking the money and running was an option that the players were given, it would probably seem more attractive, but I don't think it is that simple.
First, 1/9 of the total, then wait a month, then another 1/9, then another month for the last 1/9 isn't exactly taking and running. It's a drip drip drip in your face screw you as an IPT member, and screw those who paid $2000 each to enter one of the qualifiers for this tournament. It is the players that paid went through the qualifiers that are getting screwed here more than anyone else.
I went to one of the qualifiers for that tournament and talked with many of the players, who were all extremely excited about the prospects the IPT was offering. This ripoff manuver soiled what was otherwise a tremendous experience for everyone in that room whether they made the Reno tournament or not. This cannot be allowed to happen again on any scale and this is why I believe the players should not accept anything less than full payment.
